Hints and tips showing how to pass level 1996 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie

Level 1996 is a dual task level, you need to collect the 6 ingredients as well as clear all the jelly to pass it.

Don't move the ingredients over from the column they are in at the top of the board as they need to go down the diagonal line into the bottom of the board to be collected. If you move them over they will get stuck and you will have to move them back.

Make stripes and combos to clear the blockers and get into the bottom of the board as quickly as you can as moves are very limited in the top. Once you can use the whole board you can use the teleports to help make combos and clear the jelly. You can almost forget about the ingredients apart from the bottom two which you will have to release from the marmalade.

The ingredients will find their own way to the exits as you clear the jelly.

Yes, another hard level and you need quite some luck for completing it. After many, many tries, I finally did it but with the help of boosters. Even with boosters, it took me a few tries so I did wasted some - I don't care, I'll go back and make some more on sugar candies levels. The boosters I used were a coconut wheel plus a sprinkle choco ball AND I got lucky because they happened to get placed one beside the other and the switch together opened the board greatly. So my tip for those who will get the iPad version tomorrow, use those two boosters and reset the game until they get placed together ... it will help a lot.

On Android there is not a coconut wheel available to use as a booster, only chocolate ball, fish, and striped/wrapped candy. I haven't got two chocolate balls next to each other to try and clear the glaze off the two candies on the bottom but if that isn't freeing them you should contact king and report it. Going to try this level on my PC and see if it's easier.

I-phone basically impossible. Passed on laptop using coconut wheel and fish boosters, and a couple of hand switches to get striped candy next to a chocolate sprinkle. Even then, completed on last move.

After reading the comments I decided to use my store of hammers & hand switches if necessary. Started with a fish booster which proved to be very helpful. Guess I had a lucky board too because there were a lot of chances to make special candies on top. Fruit started to fall to the bottom. At the bottom the fish helped & so did a few hammers & switches. I couldn't bear the thought of getting stuck on this level as I did on the last. NC

That was horrid. Never say die though......eventually you get the lucky board without needing any extra boosters. I was lucky when 2 chocolate sprinkles lined up side by side. I have some catching up to do now. It's Wednesday, which means the new episode is here and I still need to get through this one. UGH!!

Double sprinkle chocolate ball worked for me. Some jelly needs to be hit twice. they only clear one level of jelly. I haven't passed this level yet but it's not a terrible level to play. Enjoy the game people or move on to another one. ITS JUST A GAME!

After many many efforts I managed to pass it. I had already used my boosters with no success! I passed it without boosters; a lucky board came finally.Phew...very boring level as most of these last ones. I aim for the 2000 level. May be I stop playing after this. This game leads nowhere.

I used two sprinkled balls next to each other to remove the first layer of jelly and release the fruit. This opened the board. Avoid hitting the blockers and candy under the blocker chute to keep blockers from falling.

After two days and countless wasted coconut wheels, sprinkles, and fish, I declare this unwinnable even using all of them. The fish only went for the fruit in jelly once out of my countless tries --- a total waste. The coconut wheels were never positioned to do much good and sometimes did no good at all.

I figure this is going to take a miracle board, and I am so wretchedly bored with this level.

I don't have a coconut wheel booster on iPhone. I've tried using the jelly fish booster- you get ONE fish at the beginning- and that's it! No more appear! Haven't even come close to completing this level on the iPhone. On mine liquorice constantly comes from the chute- not at ALL like the above video.

A coconut wheel would be great but it's not offered on PC. I've tried the Fish. Not sure if they help or not. The bottom of the board gets filled with licorice. If I had lots of Hammers I would eliminate the blockers on one side in order to get ingredients and candy to the bottom to get some moves opened. As usual, posting for luck.

This is the first time that I've run across a level that just seams MEAN.Seems like whenever I get a sprinkle ball and stripe lined up together, none of the resulting stripes are pointing to the two locked candies on the side. I've seen two sprinkle balls line up and combined them, still wasn't able to clear the level. Hoping for a lucky board...been stuck on this level for almost a week, haven't even been close.

Got it first try starting with a green helmet, and the CB & fish boosters, 25 moves left. Reset until I got 2 CBS together. That switch did clear most of bottom. Then in a few moves I did a CB & wrapped switch. A few 3 candy combos and I was done.

No coconut wheel available on iPad! What the heck! Not everyone has a pc!!! Have tried the available boosters, to no avail. Still at least 15 away or I can’t get the fruit opened up on the bottom. Ridiculous!
